Fall is in the Air: Autumn Scents

My regular readers will know that I absolutely LOVE autumn. It’s the perfect time of year to start pulling out gorgeous layer items, enjoy delicious pumpkin spice lattes, and spend time with the family over the holidays.

Every year, I celebrate fall by pulling out some truly delectable autumn-scented candles. Fall is my favorite season, which should make it no surprise that many of my favorite candles are also essential this time of year. I especially find myself burning autumn scents like ambers, pumpkins, cinnamons, ouds, and sweet spices this time of year (yum!).

Let’s welcome in the beauty of changing leaves, chai and pumpkin flavors, and cozy cashmere sweaters with these transformative fragrances. Fall back into the wonder of youthful Halloween hijinks, the comfort of Thanksgiving dinners spent with loved ones, and the joy of young winter love with these evocative fragrances.

Here are some of my favorite autumn scents this season, in no particular order:

Cocolux Australia: Exotic Amber Spice – Notes of dark amber, cardamom, and frankincense with Persian spices.
